Envisionit is a 23-year-old digital marketing agency that “seizes the opportunity” for employees, partners, and clients to grow. To keep that promise as we scale, we need a Client Finance Manager who will own the agency’s delivery engine—turning data into insight, insight into action, and action into profitable growth. If you thrive on building high-performing teams, love a clean process, and measure success in margins, utilization, and on-time delivery, we want to meet you.

The Role:

As our Client Finance Manager, you are the financial backbone of our client projects. You will be a trusted partner to our internal teams, ensuring complete financial clarity and control from the moment a project is conceived to its final invoice. With a meticulous eye for detail, you will establish the foundation for project success, creating accurate budgets and acting as an early warning system to protect our profitability.

In this critical role, you will work seamlessly with our Account, Project Management, and Finance departments to safeguard the financial health of every project we undertake. If you are passionate about the details and thrive on providing the financial insights that drive smart business decisions, this role is for you.

What You'll Do:

• Project Setup & Budget Management: Take charge of the initial financial setup for all projects, including creating job codes, defining project phases, applying correct rate cards, and ensuring project budgets are accurately tracked from day one.

• Scope vs. Burn Analysis: Conduct weekly monitoring of project scope versus actual burn and team utilization. You will identify and flag significant variances to project leaders to enable swift and effective course correction.

• Financial Reporting & Analysis: Prepare and distribute monthly reports on burn, utilization, and account-level profitability to agency leadership, providing clear analysis and key insights into our financial performance.

• Revenue Recognition & Billing: Manage the monthly revenue recognition process and maintain Work in Progress (WIP) schedules. You will be responsible for delivering clean, accurate billing schedules to the Controller to ensure timely and precise invoicing.

• Contract & Margin Support: Maintain a centralized repository for all client contracts (SOWs, MSAs, COs) and support our growth teams by modeling costs and margins for new business proposals and renewals.

What You'll Bring:

• Proven experience in a financial role within a professional services, advertising agency, or project-based environment

• An exceptional eye for detail and a high degree of accuracy

• Strong understanding of project financials, including budgeting, revenue recognition, and profitability analysis

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with non-financial team members

• A proactive and analytical mindset, with the ability to identify potential issues before they become problems

• Experience with project management or financial software is highly preferred
